I really wanted this blog to be about art, books and all things that I am passionate about.
Unfortunately I haven't had the time to do as much reading and crafts as I'd like.
So if I want to keep writing it's going to just have to be about me and what I am actually doing.
Hopefully there will be books and art along the way. Sigh, hopefully.
I'm currently at home with the flu. Which is lucky really because I get time to write.
See? Silver linings.
Life has gotten so busy lately I feel I need to remind myself to slow down and just breathe.
Put down my phone, close my laptop, stop thinking about work and all the things I need to do in the house.
Just enjoy life. It's hard though!
It's Autumn and the air has that chill crisp to it. Kids have gone back to school. Halloween is coming. I'm missing all of it getting caught up in my little world. Usually my world is pretty cool because I daydream and lose myself in books, movies, music, or crafting. But lately I've realised that as I approach my 29th Birthday, I have become a full blown adult.
I have a full time job that stresses me the eff out, I have bills, soon a mortgage, I have obligations, responsibilities, other people's happiness and stability depends on me. I have a soon-to-be 18 year old step-daughter. I have grown people problems. I can't help but wonder how I got here, when it seems like just yesterday high school was ending and we were all wondering what we did next?
But here I stand, or lay rather due to flu induced semi consciousness. I'm having to remind myself to stop and smell the roses. To chill. I have to admit the stress has been getting to me lately. And what for? Everyone I know and love is in good health, happy and no one is any more broke than usual. I am blessed. Blessed but stressed. Stressed about work. It's not me. Something must be done. Something will be done.
I'm going to change things. Yes sir. Give away some jobs at work so I can focus on what I want. What's important. Remove the stress by delegating. No more for me, thanks. Looking forward to this change of season. There's something magical about this time of year. And, of course, Christmas is coming!
